  • Federal Hill Commons Event Parking Request
    TODAY’S WEATHER Saturday, June 17, 2017 Today: Partly sunny. Slight shower and storm chances, mainly in the afternoon. Sheridan, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, Tonight: Increasing chances of showers and storms by late evening. Atlanta, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield LIKE & FOllOW US! HIGH: 88 LOW: 72 Federal Hill Commons event parking request The REPORTER The City of Noblesville and Nobles- ville Main Street are asking patrons to be mindful of where they park when at- tending events at Federal Hill Commons. Since the park’s grand opening on May 13, officials have noticed that nearby pri- vate parking lots are being used instead of larger public lots. “We want to encourage people to use the Riverview Health overflow lot direct- ly across from Federal Hill Commons so normal business operations can contin- ue in the private parking lots around the park. A police officer is stationed at the intersection of Conner Street and Indiana 19 to assist pedestrians in crossing,” said Noblesville Parks Director Brandon Ben- nett. “We appreciate our neighbors being understanding, but we want to make sure we are not intruding on their businesses during events because there is plenty of parking opportunities in public spaces.” To ensure patrons have the opportu- nity to park and shop at those businesses, “No Event Parking” signs will be placed at the entrances to the private parking lot north of Logan Street (which includes Kroger) starting today. “Demand for the Farmers Market has steadily increased each of the last three years. Seeing attendance at an all-time high, we’ve been monitoring traffic with staff from Noblesville Parks and the No- blesville Police Department,” said Chris Owens, chief executive officer of No- blesville Main Street.

  • Open Andrew Bryant SHC Thesis.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS REVISITING THE SUPERSTAR EXTERNALITY: LEBRON’S ‘DECISION’ AND THE EFFECT OF HOME MARKET SIZE ON EXTERNAL VALUE ANDREW DAVID BRYANT SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Mathematics and Economics with honors in Economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Edward Coulson Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor David Shapiro Professor of Economics Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The movement of superstar players in the National Basketball Association from small- market teams to big-market teams has become a prominent issue. This was evident during the recent lockout, which resulted in new league policies designed to hinder this flow of talent. The most notable example of this superstar migration was LeBron James’ move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat. There has been much discussion about the impact on the two franchises directly involved in this transaction. However, the indirect impact on the other 28 teams in the league has not been discussed much. This paper attempts to examine this impact by analyzing the effect that home market size has on the superstar externality that Hausman & Leonard discovered in their 1997 paper. A road attendance model is constructed for the 2008-09 to 2011-12 seasons to compare LeBron’s “superstar effect” in Cleveland versus his effect in Miami. An increase of almost 15 percent was discovered in the LeBron superstar variable, suggesting that the move to a bigger market positively affected LeBron’s fan appeal.

Wade reveals his thoughts on fatherhood, detailing his personal experiences as a parent, and tracing his transformation from being the child of a single parent to now serving as one himself. In the book, Wade opens up and reveals for the first time the intimate and traumatic details of his growing up and also the prolonged battle with his ex-wife for sole custody of his two sons, touching on: · His mother’s struggles as a drug addict, and his growing up in Chicago among gangs, drug dealers and police raids (including a gut-wrenching story of young Dwyane finding a dead body in a garbage can) · How he pulled himself up from such a life, thrived through basketball and maintained his devotion to his mother · He has never talked about the prolonged battle with his ex-wife over sole custody of his two sons and why doing so was the most important thing in his life; and how the constant media attention has affected him and his boys · His advocacy for fathers taking a strong

    XAVIER BASKETBALL – NEWSLETTER S.E. February 5, 2006 Follow Me By MICHAEL SOKOLOVE Ethics exemplar. And soon to become, in marketing terms, "the Michael Jordan of college coaches," according to his agent, David Falk (who is, yes, Jordan's agent). Krzyzewski (pronounced sha-SHEF-ski) has been doing about 30 corporate speaking gigs a year for about $50,000 a pop. (He plans to cut back on the number of speeches while raising his fee to $100,000.) He is host of an annual conference at Duke's Fuqua School of Business. The university, in an unusual move, put its basketball coach's name on an academic center, the Fuqua/Coach K Center of Leadership & Ethics, and made Krzyzewski an "executive in residence" with the expectation that he will be able to become a professor whenever he stops coaching. In addition, Duke Corporate Education, which consults to businesses, has developed a program that uses Krzyzewski's methods as a teaching tool. PricewaterhouseCoopers has so far sent about 500 senior associates and managers — most of them "partners in the making," as they were described to me — to study Duke basketball in a "metaphoric context" to help them reach personal and professional goals. That irritating American Express commercial is blaring All of this is easy to ridicule because Krzyzewski is, again during the college basketball telecasts. The after all, a mere coach — and in some quarters, scrappy Polish guy from Chicago is standing in front of especially among rival fans in the bitterly competitive his bench, his feet firmly planted on the holy hardwood Atlantic Coast Conference, a reviled one.
